Long Haired Men, How Do You Take Care of Your Hair??

Long Haired Men, How Do You Take Care of Your Hair?

It's my first time growing out my hair. I currently almost have shoulder length hair.

Here's my dilemma, I usually just stay home and don't like using product when I'm not going out, my long hair falls down in front of my face blocking my eyes, even reaching my mouth and it's extremely inconvenient.

I've tried using hair ties, but somebody said it eventually leads to a receding hairline.

I've also used headbands, but am looking for alternatives.

I'd also appreciate some advice when using product, because sometimes it still falls down and/or becomes flat and lack some volume.

My end goal is to have a slicked back hair.

Hair ties leading to receding hair line reeks of an old wives tale. I would look into actual research on the topic, and if it hasn't been proven true, assume it is false.
- Just look at all the women with receding hairlines.
  
  idk there's that scene in Zoolander where he takes that woman's hair down from a ponytail
  
  Bit of a skewed comparison though, since men are naturally more prone to baldness because of the testosterone.
  
  So what you're saying is the difference has nothing to do with tying it anyway
  
  Thanks for your comment.
- It's possible, it's called traction alopecia. It happens from frequent use of hairbands that are tied too tightly. The solution is to use a lightly tied hairband and not use a hairband every day.
- No actually if you have a sensible scalp like me, when I tie my hair, after I feel pain in the scalp.
  Apparently keeping your hair tied for to long, can cause some people's hair to develop cutaneous allodynia.
  Wich basically means you pulled the nerves in your scalps too much
